Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 900 Ada vs. Kinich

Ginich finally confirmed, "Should we create a conflict to distract him?"

The young man was still too honest; he still believed it was a serious battle and hadn't grasped the implied meaning in Mavka's words.

In response, Mavica explained with feigned seriousness, "The purpose of creating conflict is not to distract the captain, but to make the other Fools' fighting center at the main gate. Since we are outnumbered, we can reduce our losses by bypassing them."

This reason is perfectly reasonable; they really don't have many people. This is the most awkward part. Mavica had also considered asking Saffir to send people to help with defense, but in this kind of matter, helping is a favor, not helping is one's right. Saffir could help, but it wouldn't be appropriate for her to ask before establishing an alliance with them.

So even knowing that Saffir might have brought reinforcements, Mavica still dared not withdraw her people from the front lines, gambling that Saffir had sent enough men to deal with the Abyss invasion.

If she succeeds, she can lead her men to confront the captain, but doing so could escalate the conflict further. If she fails, Nata will be completely destroyed. Either way, there's no benefit, so it's unnecessary.

There's not much she can do now. In front of others, she pretends she hasn't had much contact with Saphir and doesn't mention anything else. As for the captain, her first priority is to persuade him; this matter can only succeed and cannot fail.

Then comes the defense of the abyss. Before successfully securing the help of the Fools, we must do our utmost to fulfill our duties.

Finally, regarding this battle, Mavica understood perfectly why Saffir hadn't arranged for her to meet directly with the captain.

Admittedly, if Saffir had wanted to, she would have done it long ago. The reason things turned out this way is simple: the girl who was capable of being the mastermind behind the scenes didn't want to do it.

Because she was observing, she wanted to know if the captain and Orloren's plan was really feasible, and whether it was necessary to risk the lives of more Fools soldiers for Nata.

They were also observing whether Mavica, as the leader of Nata, was qualified to join forces with the Fools. This was a time for Saffir to consider, and also a test for Mavica. If they could really break through the Fools' defenses and successfully stop the captain's plan, then joining forces would be a natural progression.

If not…

Well then, sorry, the Fools will take over all matters concerning Nata. At that time, the reinforcements summoned by Saffir will directly target Nata and ask the question that all villains ask: "Submission, or destruction?"

She must prove herself, as the Goddess of Fire and as a Nata, to show that this nation is not beyond redemption, that she is a worthy deity, and that all beings are worthy of her trust.

She took a deep breath to calm her thoughts, then said, "Shinonin, I want you to create a passage from the outside of the ancient ruins to get closer to the device. This is the Echo Child's specialty. We'll try to destroy it directly."

Xinoning nodded slightly; this was the simplest and most effective method.

Kinich understood immediately: "I see. In that case, the main battle will be fought on Shinonin's side."

“Yes, so Ying and I will act together with Xinoning.” Mavica made the arrangements. “No one is better suited to create a commotion than Kinicch, not even I can create that kind of effect.”

"If we each do our part, we still have a chance to break through the captain's defenses."

She said this seriously, but what she really meant was that A Qiao was a troublemaker.

Kinic readily agreed: "Leave it to me."

Xinoning nodded, "Understood. It's best to set off now." With that, she took two steps forward and came to Mavica's side. "Once you get there, don't make any rash moves. Unless absolutely necessary, you must not face the captain."

You mean so much to us, losing you would be the worst thing ever…

She seemed to be thinking about what Nata would become without Mavica, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Ying wasn't nervous at all. She knew that Mavica would definitely be alright, because if the captain really wanted to kill Mavica, Saffir would stop him, just like he stopped Mavica from killing the captain.

She reassured him, "I will avoid letting things get to that point."

"Thank you, I promise I will act carefully." Mavica was very happy that Xinoning and Ying cared about her so much, and a smile appeared on her face.

After a brief meeting, everyone set off in the pre-determined direction.

No one spoke the rest of the way; a somber atmosphere permeated the air among them.

Mavica didn't stop until she reached the Fools' camp. It was a very inconspicuous cave entrance. Due to the rush, only a simple platform and some tents had been set up. Many Fools soldiers were still busy in the camp. They didn't know how long they would be staying there, so setting up a campsite was the priority.

In the center of the camp, there is a large tent that is taller than the others, clearly intended for the leaders. However, what is puzzling is that there is only one large tent here, which should only be able to accommodate one person.

Suppressing her doubts, Mavica introduced the place to the people behind her: "This is it. The passage they dug must be behind the position where the Fools gathered and guarded."

After observing the terrain, Xinoning analyzed, "The nearby mountains can all be used as entry points, but if we don't want to alert the enemy, it's best to avoid the front and break through from the side."

Kinich had his eyes on the Fools soldiers bustling around the camp: "Proceed according to plan, leave the front to me and Ajo."

Ajo was floating beside him, bobbing gently like a pixelated image. It was usually very noisy, but today it was unusually quiet.

Mavica glanced at the camp's layout again and quickly found a weak point: "There aren't many people deployed on the side of the mountain. We need to deal with that as soon as possible and not give them a chance to tip off."

At the same time, inside the camp, a Thunder Hammer Vanguard soldier pounded his lower back with his right hand and looked at the Hidden Mirror Lady beside him: "Sister Ada, are you sure you don't need to add more men to the flank? I have a feeling that it's not very safe there."

"If you can see the problem, do you think Lord Dark Priest wouldn't see it?" Ada rolled her eyes. This simpleton had only recently joined and was brought in to fill vacancies, so he was still a bit naive.

The Thunder Hammer Vanguard scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehehe...that's true. Sister Ada, tell me, does Lord Dark Priest have some special arrangements? Like planting some explosives over there so that if anyone tries to sneak in from there, they can be blown up!"

He had barely finished speaking when he got a punch on the forehead. Ada was exasperated: "The captain was in there with his men, and you were planting explosives at the cave entrance? Did a zombie eat your brains?"

"Uh..." Lei Chui Vanguard immediately realized his slip of the tongue, covered his mouth, and stopped talking.

The guerrilla soldier next to him burst into laughter: "You little brat, are you planning to kill the captain and take his place? You've got guts!"

"No, no! Brother, don't talk nonsense, absolutely nothing like that." Lei Chui Vanguard immediately waved his hand, joking, saying such a thing would probably get him killed the next second.

He glanced at Ada with some concern, fearing that this stern-faced older sister might suddenly turn on him.

Ada, however, didn't seem to care. With one hand on her hip, she said casually, "It's fine. In our team, talking badly about your superiors isn't a serious mistake, as long as they don't hear it."

"Oh...that's good. Lord Dark Priest isn't here, so he probably didn't hear it." Thunderhammer Vanguard patted his chest with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief.

To everyone's surprise, Ada said with a half-smile, "No, she heard it. I mean, it's fine as long as the captain didn't hear it."

"!" The Thunder Hammer Vanguard immediately fell silent and looked around.

Ada shook her head helplessly at his foolish appearance: "If you can discover me, then the master's stealth skills have been wasted."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned slightly: "Solnev, prepare for battle."

The next second, with a loud "boom", a huge fireball hurtled towards Ada.

Accompanying the fireball was an extremely arrogant voice: "Hahahaha! Bow down before the tyranny of Kuhul Ajo! You ants!!!"

"Sister Ada!" Thornev, a member of the Thunder Hammer Vanguard, watched helplessly as Ada was engulfed in flames. His eyes widened in horror, and he grabbed the hammer that was lying to the side and smashed it at Kinich.

Upon seeing this, Kinich immediately drew his weapon and engaged in direct combat.

A Qiao then intensified her attack, intending to eliminate the seemingly minor commander, Zang Jing Shi Nu, in one fell swoop.

The scorching fire turned the ground into lava; it's hard to imagine anyone escaping such an attack.

But... its chosen target is Ida.

A soft popping sound came from within the flames, and then Aqiao's gaze narrowed slightly as it stopped spewing flames. It sensed that the human within its flames had vanished.

It's not death, it's disappearance, that's not right.

Just as it was cautiously trying to find the other party's trace, a rock made of rock element that was flashing with dazzling light mercilessly smashed into its head, and then a blue-glowing array appeared under its feet.

To enhance its firepower, A Qiao activated its giant form, no longer a miniature pixelated dragon, but a giant dragon over five meters tall, although it was still pixelated.

However, this also resulted in its feet being on the ground.

"Shh!"

The extremely low temperature suddenly spread upwards from the ground along A Qiao's legs. Before A Qiao could react, half of her body was frozen in ice.

"What kind of sorcery is this?!" A Qiao was extremely shocked. Because of its special nature, it had always been able to do whatever it wanted when fighting others, and its enemies could not touch it. It never expected that someone could freeze it today, which made it very surprised and start to panic.

Ida maintained her dignified demeanor as she slowly stepped out of the shadows, looking at her creation: Ajo, whose body was half-frozen.

"Damn Fools! What have you done?!" Ajo tried to struggle, but couldn't break free.

Ada glanced at it coldly, her red lips parting slightly: "You're too noisy."

The next second, the freezing area expanded, quickly spreading to A Qiao's neck and almost freezing its mouth.

"Damn it, damn it!! Hey, Ginitch! Help me!" With no other option, Ajo breathed a mouthful of fire at Ada and then turned to Ginitch for help.

But Kinich is not having an easy time either, because Solnev seems to have gone mad and is relentlessly pursuing him without any regard for anything else.

Solnev's attack style was undoubtedly incapable of defeating Kinich, because his reckless fighting would quickly exhaust his stamina and lead to defeat.

However, Ginich could not defeat Solnev before Solnev was exhausted, and he might even be defeated by him if he was not careful. Solnev was of average strength and there was a big gap between him and Ginich. But it was Solnev who, with his crazy offensive, even suppressed Ginich.

"Tch, what a waste, can't even beat a lowly soldier." Ajo knew that Ginitch was no longer a reliable option, at least not in the short term.

It began to think about how to get out of its current predicament. Although its task was simply to hold off the Fools, it did not want to lose so miserably.

After struggling again to no avail, Ajo looked at Ada seriously for the first time: "Human, you are very strong."

“This is something you, as my enemy, don’t need to admit.” Ada slightly raised her hand, and a water sphere began to float in her palm.

Upon seeing the water sphere, both Ajo and Ginitch were startled; it was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.

Most Fatui can only use one elemental power, but that's not always the case. For example, the Executor can use multiple elemental powers, not to mention the monstrous Sapphire.

Besides the executive officers, some high-ranking members of the Fools can also use multiple elemental powers. Ada is clearly not an ordinary Mirror Lady, so it is reasonable for her to be able to use a second elemental power.

But this means the situation has become tricky. If Kinich and Ajo can't hold off the Fools here and get them to come to their aid, Mavica and her group will face increased pressure.

But this was only the mildest of many consequences. The most serious one was that Ginitch and Arjo were killed here. As the heir to the ancient name of the backfire, Ginitch knew very well what this meant.

Therefore, they cannot die.

"You bastard! You shameless woman, how dare you treat the great Holy Dragon Lord Kuhule Ajo like this! Just you wait! Once I break free of this damn ice block, I will definitely tear your ass off and then tear your ass off!" Ajo, enraged, launched a verbal attack, hurling extremely vulgar insults.

Even Ada, who was known for her calm demeanor, couldn't help but frown. With a thought, the water sphere in her hand transformed into a rapier, and she plunged it into Ajo's chest without hesitation.

"Quiet down." Ada's eyes gleamed with a light blue hue, and sharp water blades, carrying a chilling aura, enveloped Ajo's body.

The once noisy, sharp-tongued dragon king froze completely after taking the blow. Its eyes, which gleamed with a scarlet, eerie light, dimmed, but it still endured the pain and whispered, "Human... you will... pay the price..."

Kinich's heart sank at the sight. Arjo couldn't be allowed to get hurt; although he was annoying, he was an indispensable fighting force, and...

Seeing Ajo defeated, Kinich felt a sharp pain in his heart. He was very familiar with this feeling; it was the feeling that would arise after losing something important: hatred, fear, and even deeper, helplessness and despair.

Ada reached into the ice with her left hand and lifted the unconscious Ajo up. Then she coldly looked at Kinich, who was still fighting with Solnev.

"Solnev, calm down," Ada said.

Solnev, who had been moving like a berserker, suddenly stopped and then collapsed to the ground like a puppet that had lost its control.

Kinich looked at Solnev and realized that the guy had actually fallen asleep.

He looked at Ada, who was carrying Ajo, and gripped his greatsword tightly: "Put Ajo down."

“Ginich of Witzland, you have failed.” Ada ignored Ginich’s words and spoke in a flat tone.

Ginitch narrowed his eyes slightly: "Even if everyone else goes to support you, I can do my best to hold you off."

“Very confident, but… also reckless,” Ada commented. “There are so many Fools on the outside, what good is it to hold me back alone?”

Your Vulcan should be inside the ruins by now, right? Guess what would happen if all of us here followed him in?

As soon as she finished speaking, squads of Fools soldiers suddenly emerged from the shadows, and numerous musketeer guerrillas aimed their weapons at Kinich.

“Look, with just one command from me, you won’t even have a chance to escape.” Ada stood opposite Kinich, and behind her, on higher ground, musketeers, some crouching and some standing, all held their muskets.

Seeing this, Ginjic was deeply confused; he... had failed.
